that's relatively minor and easily fixed. the dents will have to be hammered out and filled, which means taking off the glovebox and indicators, the trim will need replacing (if you're fussy - if you're not it can probably be re-fitted), the glovebox will need to be repaired (plastic-welded) or replaced if you're really fussy, and the front legshield will need a respray. i am no expert in repair estimates but based on what some mates have paid recently for getting work done on their scooters, i'd venture a guess of £3-400 or so, if you get it done at a bodyshop. it may be cheaper outside london.
there are people out there who do bodywork on a cottage industry basis; some of them are very highly skilled and will do work that is comparable to - if not better than - a bodyshop, at a really competitive price. if you're going to go that route make sure you do your homework, go with somebody who has been recommended to you, and make sure you see some of their work before you hand over your scooter.
i guess 300-400 isnt that bad...i feel like if i tried to do it, i would probably make it worse...
